Spring Time and Easter Fun
Although it may have not felt like it outside we began
learning about spring time on the calendar marked first day of spring. Starting
early gave us something to be hopefully about as the winter weather dragged on.
We focused on spring time weather and the fun sayings that go with it “In like
a lion; out like a lamb.” Or “April Showers bring May flowers.” We discussed
how the weather would slowly begin to warm and with that we would finally be
able to play outside again. This made the kiddos beyond thrilled. We also
discussed how even though the rain may keep us inside it would help nature
around us to come alive again.
We
also sang a little spring time song to the tune of
Farmer and the dell:
The days of Spring are here,
Warmer days are near,
Flowers and bees, and birds in trees.
The days of spring are here.
We also spent a lot of time talking about the Easter Story.
Together we read a child friendly but honest version of the Easter Story and
the Passion of Christ. The children listen intently as we read it together and
then shared their questions and feelings. We spent time praying together as a
class and reflected on how much we are loved by God and by Jesus. I find these
moments together with the class to be so special. It is beautiful to listen and
join them in little prayers throughout the day.
We also sang a little Easter song to the tune of Mary had a
Little Lamb
Jesus
is alive today, alive today, alive today. Jesus is alive today, it is Easter
morning!
Here
is a little looks that we did for spring and Easter:
